Description
This book is the first edited collection to focus on the work of contemporary author Hari Kunzru. It contains major new essays on each of his novels: The Impressionist, Transmission, My Revolutions, Gods Without Men, White Tears, and Red Pill, as well as his short fiction and non-fiction writings.
The collection situates Kunzru's work within current debates regarding postmodernism, postcolonialism, and post-postmodernism. It examines how Kunzru's work is central to major thematic concerns of contemporary writing, including whiteness, national identity, Britishness, cosmopolitanism, music, space, memory, art practice, trauma, Brexit, immigration, covid-19, and populist politics.
The book engages with current debates regarding the politics of publishing ethnic writers, examining how Kunzru has managed to shape a career in resistance of narrow labelling where many other writers have struggled to achieve long-term recognition.
